EVE General Discussion

Let's be honest here people (even if only because you need to take a break from ISK scamming every once in a while)...

It seems you can't go 24 hours without some ganker posting another tired "nerf hisec" thread. It's tired. It's old. We're talking Yoda levels of old, ok? And I say gankers because that's who it really is in the end: Gankers who ignore things like wardecs, can flipping, dueling and crimewatch so that they can still put on blinders when claiming that "there isn't enough PvP/risk in hisec" and then try to scrape together the same old tired (chorus) arguments that have nothing to do with their real motivation for the only area where hisec PvP hasn't been made easier (i.e.: ganking).

The saddest arguments they use end up pointing out some weird relationship to the situation in nullsec. Ok, we get that. You have problems in null. For whatever reason, be it gate camps, sov mechanics, titan blobs, moon goo, feudalism, whatever your beef is... it's there. I believe you when you say that these are all problems.

So let's focus on talking about ways to fixing those problems. Let's focus on fixing the things that are actually broken for the people who live & work out there everyday and thus have to deal with it everyday. Pretty much everyone actually living in null faces the problems in null. That's a pretty big demographic, relatively speaking. The only people who are complaining about "problems" in hisec are gankers who think that having to use more than one suicide Catalyst to blow up... well, anything, really... is a "problem." Pretty much everyone actually living in hisec except for the gankers don't see this as a problem.

In other words, you have one area where the majority has a problem with current mechanics. You have another area where majority does not have a problem with current mechanics. So let's put on our logic hats for a minute and ask ourselves: Where should CCP be pointing their screwdrivers?

Of course this won't change anything on GD, of course. The gankers won't be getting their wish for permanent seal hunting season and so will continue to chant their cobweb covered litany about how hisec is "too safe." But it will probably help the area where there actually are problems and make more customers happier out in null. And if fixing null keeps things interesting enough that their permanent residents stop making alt toons to go bully people in hisec out of sheer boredom (and the whine threads that go with it) then that can only be a good thing for both hisec and nullsec. It's a win-win. Well, except for the gankers... but honestly, who cares about those guys?

You totally beat me to it.

:(

I wonder if the OP realizes which forum they posted in.

Wow, I'll never complain that Eve is behind on MMO technology ever again.

Because apparently they've invented magical time portals, for people to make posts from 2005 when Sov null wasn't significantly safer than high-sec yet.

Moving this from New Citizens Q&A to General Discussion.

Do both.

Fix Void first tbh - Null works quite well.

Confirming that both high and low sec are absolutely fine.

I assume wormholes are the same, given the lack of wormhole dwellers posting "nerf highsec" threads.

These threads start to sound all the same.

Fix Herp !
Nerf Derp !

Followed by 20 pages of hurr and durr.

And Troll a lol a lol
